How's your engine and trans mounts look? Other than that as long as you're using Napa Gold axles you shouldn't have an issue. The Autozone and others have a history of failing early. Not in a weeks time, but the Napa axles have been said to be the best replacement.

I'd take it easy on the first like, 25-50 miles on new cv axles. Just because the grease needs to completely get in the bearings. I assume they pack the bearings from the factory, but it can't hurt to take it easy for a bit. Your trans will thank you as well.

The only thing worse than beating on a car with a 4t65e, is beating on a 4t65e with a failing PCS. You will kill it so much faster. Mine was failing and I had to drive like a grandma just to avoid too much slipping in between gears, if I drove like a maniac during that time, I probably would have killed it.

i will take it easy for a little bit and see how long it will last me thank for the help

I dunno. The owner before me went through 2 LH CV axles in a 2 year period, both NAPA.

Me personally, I don't know anything about em. I just know I never want to have to buy the tools to do it.
